There are many '69 model vehicles I would love to have in place of their modern counterparts, but I think your vision of the definition for utility seems to be very narrow.
Utility in SUV means that the vehicle can serve many purposes, not just go off-road. The fact that one vehicle can carry more people than your typical car, go off-road when needed, tow loads similar to their half-ton truck counterparts, carry luggage inside the vehicle for the people it's carrying and do all of this in relative comfort is where utility comes into play in the acronym SUV.
It would seem that this post is baiting to try and begin the H1/H2 wars again.
By the way,
I was thinking about how I've always wanted a Range Rover - but got excited with the Discovery and the affordability of a Land Rover - but isn't the issue pretty much the same? I mean, when you go wheeling in your Discovery, with people who have the original Range Rover, do you somehow feel inferior? If not just because you don't really have the "real thing", if you know what I mean.
